I Rebecca Doar, wife of John Doar late of Sedgwick deceased, do testify and say that I was lawfully married to him in the now town of Sedgwick on the twenty ninth day of October one thousand seven hundred and eighty four according to the best of my remembrance and belief but as the County was but thinly inhabited and few were transacted business in a correct way, I have no knowledge that my marriage was ever recorded in any office or place whatever. I had by my husband John Doar six Children the oldest fifty eight years old. My husband was a poor man, he often told me that if he could save a little money he would employ an agent to look up his pension which he always said was due him, for his services as a Soldier in the Revolution, attest Nicholas Othomas

It was unexpected to me as you have such a certificate in your Office, and I was not apprised that it was necessary to send it every time while my Commission continued good, and it subjects me to trouble and cost, as I have to go 12 miles to get the same from the County Clerk.

Dear Sir. I received a letter from you respecting Olive White and Rebecca Doar. As it respects Olive White's case I know nothing respecting it only at her request I took the deposition of Mr. Condon which I sent you. The former affidavits were taken or caused to be taken by a gentleman in Newbury Port Me. As it regards the case of Rebecca Doar there does not appear to be a shadow of doubt but that her Husband John Doar served agreeable to her former declaration in the Revolutionary war and was honorably discharged and thereby became entitled to a pension. That said Rebecca was lawfully married to him more than nine years before the first day of January 1794 but owing to the neglect of Ministers and Justices of the Peace to make return of marriages it is impossible to procure record proofs in many cases. In the present case of Rebecca Doar I have at her request travelled in different directions more than 100 miles and examined both Town

County parish & Church Record but find no record of her marriage, but from the testimony now in your office of Susan Kench & of Alexander McCoslin a Revolutionary Soldier who served in the war with him and who afterwards lived in the same house with said John Doar years before the first of January 1794 and states on his oath that they were living together as Husband and Wife and so continued to live to the time of his death &c. I have taken an additional Affidavit from Rebecca Doar and one from Alexander McCoslin likewise a statement under oath from William Emerson an intimate acquaintance of Mrs. Susan Kench to show that she is a woman of truth and strong memory and that it is not possible she should be mistaken nine years in regard to the date of said marriage. I cannot but believe that on receiving the case in all its weights and bearings you will not hesitate to grant her a pension agreeable to law, and direct to me Elen County of Hancock Maine. Most Respectfully
Yours

Hancock County Maine Eden, Feby. 28. 1892
Dear Sir.
I herewith inclose to you the declaration of Rebecca Doar of Sebec, Maine, widow of John Doar deceased. To which declaration is annexed the deposition of Mrs. Maria A. Doar a Revolutionary soldier and the deposition of Susanna Kennebec who was present at the marriage of said Rebecca Doar. I have examined all records of marriages within my knowledge & can find no record of said marriage, at which time (in 1789), this County was in a manner a wilderness, there was but few incorporated towns, business was done very loose and records very imperfect and often times the young couple who were to be married frequently had to send 20 or 30 miles to procure a Clergyman or Justice to perform the services, and when that act was performed, record was often neglected to be made, and the Clergyman or Justice living at a distance, after a lapse of years even the names of those who married them are in many cases I find forgotten, but as in the above case of Rebecca Doar there is almost ten years from the time the evidence states she was married to the first day of January 1794, and as the credibility of the witnesses are good I presume the case is so clear

That you will grant her request as an early day as she is poor and needy.
I likewise send you the deposition of Sarah Condon in the case of the widow Olive White now of Scituate, she says her declaration and other papers pertaining thereto, how long since been placed in your office, by a Gentleman who was her agent I think he belonged to Newbury or Newbury Port State of Massachusetts since dead. At her request I took the opinion of the deposition of the widow Sarah Condon, she appeared the most careful witness in what she stated to me in relation to the marriage of her sister Olive White that I have met with for many years; it is the opinion of all her neighbours with whom I conversed, that her piety was such that for her sister that she did not state so fully in her behalf as she might have done I have full confidence in her statement but know nothing respecting papers heretofore sent to you in the case of said Olive White, except that Peteriah Perkins Esq informed me that in taking a deposition in her case he committed an error which he afterwards corrected and sent the same to Mrs. White's agent to be sent to your office, there is no record of her marriage to be found but it is the opinion of all the aged people in her vicinity that she was married as stated in Mrs. Sarah

Condon's deposition and if so, it would be very hard for her not to receive what is justly due her &c
After a due investigation of the above cases please have the goodness to give me the earliest information of the result -
Your Obedient Servant
